  • Dr Lauren Tober: Creating Space for Mental Wellbeing
    2024/11/10
    Dr. Lauren Tober, a distinguished clinical psychologist and yoga teacher, offers profound insights into the intersection of psychology and yoga in our latest episode. As the founder of the Yoga Psychology Institute and author of "Mental Health Aware Yoga," Dr. Tober articulates the delicate balance required to create supportive environments that honour both mental health and yogic traditions. Her unique perspective, developed through years of clinical practice and yoga teaching, illuminates the path toward more inclusive and psychologically informed yoga instruction. The discussion explores the critical aspects of trauma-informed teaching and the importance of establishing safe, brave spaces within yoga environments. Dr. Tober emphasises the significance of mindful communication, highlighting how seemingly simple practices such as emphasising the freedom to take a break whenever you need one or offering clear options for pose modifications can profoundly impact students' sense of safety and autonomy. A particularly notable insight emerges regarding the evolution of yoga teaching, with Dr. Tober observing that "If we don't have this understanding of mental health and the power of the way that we teach and the language that we use... it can be easy to fall into ways of teaching that aren't always healthy." The conversation culminates in a thoughtful examination of the ethical frameworks governing both psychological and yogic practices. Dr. Tober addresses the crucial balance between acknowledging inherent wholeness while supporting growth, emphasizing the importance of avoiding the "rescuer" mentality in favour of empowering students to connect with their inner wisdom. Her approach to practices such as pranayama and meditation demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of individual needs, suggesting that success lies in offering accessible, adaptable options rather than adhering to rigid, one-size-fits-all methodologies. The episode concludes with Dr. Tober's compelling vision of a world where individuals are empowered to trust their intuition and contribute positively to their communities through authentic self-expression and mindful practice.

  • Jeff Patterson - The Yielding Warrior
    2024/09/29
    Jeff Patterson's journey in martial arts is a fascinating blend of physical discipline and mental mastery. Starting out as a teenager inspired by Bruce Lee films, Jeff's path took an unexpected turn when his boxing coach encouraged him to explore Tai Chi and meditation. It's pretty cool how what initially seemed like a chore - "I wasn't interested in meditating at all," Jeff admits - ended up transforming his entire approach to martial arts and life. One of the most intriguing aspects of Jeff's practice is how he integrates meditation into athletic performance. He points out that many professional athletes are now turning to meditation for physical and mental health. This approach isn't limited to martial arts - it's something that could benefit anyone looking to excel in their field. Perhaps the most intriguing concept Jeff discusses is that of "yielding". It's not just a physical technique, but a mental and emotional strategy that can help navigate conflicts and guide conversations to positive outcomes. As Jeff puts it, "Learning how to use yielding in all of our interactions is extremely powerful." It's about being considerate and strategic, avoiding unnecessary butting of heads. In today's world, that's a skill we could all benefit from developing.

  • Dr Shyam Ranganathan - Yoga's Anticolonial Roots
    2024/09/01
    Dr. Shyam Ranganathan, a philosopher, scholar, and author, offers a compelling perspective on yoga as an anticolonial philosophy in this episode of the Flow Artist Podcast. Drawing from his book "Yoga - Anticolonial Philosophy, An Action Focused Guide To Practice," Dr. Ranganathan challenges conventional interpretations of yoga and presents it as a practice that encourages critical thinking, individual sovereignty, and decolonization. The discussion illuminates the contrast between Western academic traditions and South Asian philosophical frameworks, particularly in how non-Western philosophies are often categorized as "religion" rather than recognized as rigorous intellectual systems. Dr. Ranganathan's work seeks to bridge this gap, offering translations and interpretations of key yoga concepts that reveal their deeper philosophical meanings. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Ranganathan stresses the importance of questioning assumptions and engaging in continuous learning within yoga practice. He critiques the tendency in some yoga spaces to present personal opinions as universal truths, instead advocating for a more thoughtful, philosophical exploration of the practice. This approach aligns with his view of yoga as a "work in progress" that encourages practitioners to remain humble and open to growth. The podcast also delves into Dr. Ranganathan's doctoral research on ethical frameworks within yoga and South Asian philosophy. He explains how the "yoga-bhakti" approach, with its emphasis on individual sovereignty and devotion to the ideal of Isvara, offers a decolonial alternative to dominant Western ethical frameworks. This perspective encourages a focus on making responsible choices rather than simply striving to be "good," potentially expanding our imagination for what is possible in addressing societal and environmental issues. Dr Ranganathan has generously offered a special discount to our Patreon subscribers on his latest training. He has also generously shared a free 1.5 hour course: "Yoga, Apparel and Climate Change".
